When browsing a the hard drive with the file:// URL tag, it would be more then
swell if mozilla showed a directory tree structure on the left and a directory
contents list on the right. 

This should be the first major step to improving mozilla's file management
capabilities. If mozilla is to contain a file:// browser at all, I see no reason
why it should aim to be improved.

This feature with tree in sidebar and contents in main window shouldn't be hard
to implement, and handy for file management... Additionally, if the directory
contents were visible, it would make a great file browser i.e. for viewing
images or looking at multiple text files. (select directory in sidebar - show
directory contents. Select a file Mozilla can handle - open it.)
